After T-Mobile (UK at least) totally RUINED the Diamond 2, TyTn II and other previous HTC models (and by that, i mean they physically changed the casing etc). Does anyone know if the HD2 is going to be horribly re-branded and ruined?
Appreciate any feedback
Thanks
It doesn't (fortunately) look like it. For the first time ever, when you try and select a mobile phone in the T-Mobile website, there's an option to select an HTC phone. And the HD2 shows up in that choice. So, hurraaaaah, no more magenta or proprietary widgets.
Dude, don't you worry anymore! The HTC HD2 will be the second HTC device which will not be branded by T-Mobile. First device was HTC Touch2. Is this the end of HardSPL? At least it is the end of bleeding eyes due to Magenta poisoning....
Cheers mate!!
Oh joyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Haha awesome, if you're both right, then i'm defo calling them up tomorrow to get a sweet upgrade deal
According to T-Mobile the demand for "original" HTC devices was overwhelming.... hence they stopped making a mess out of beautiful hard- and software. Finally.........

Damn right. I couldn't believe how cheap and nasty they made the Diamond and Diamond2 look
I've flashed the T-Mobile ROM on an HD2 and it is thankfully 95% un-modded.
There is the odd T-Mobile splurge here and there, but other than that it is very much an HTC ROM.
The same applies to the Vodafone ROM as well, come to think of it!
I was more concerned about the hardware, but it's nice to know they've cut down on the software butchering too
The have hacked it a bit, removed youtube widget and oc forced opera to start on their laughably small tmob favourites/wnw clearly sized for qv not wv. There is a tmob im prog (nasty squinting sperm as icon) which fails to load every time with an error 'Sorry there was an error pls restart'. ??
I think they may have done more wrecking, mine seems a bit jerkey/stuttery at times. I fancy a re rom but am v new - any pointers, whats's good and how to do it?
I was an owner of a t-mobile branded diamond, and tbh, it thought the t-mobile casing was a lot prettier ^^

I still have one and I totally agree. But having said that, the same does not apply to all models.

How do all. just wondered if anyone would like to swop there universal for my Hermes? the hermes is in very good condition and is branded under the T-Mobile Vario II and is unlocked to any network. I really like this PPC but would just like a new toy really. The universal would have to be unlocked and in good condition. PM me if anyone is intrested and i will send you more info and pics etc.
i have ended up setting up a swop for my kaiser and 150 quid. am very happy
kaiser..
isnt the kaiser worth more than the uni?..
Are you in the US
The Kaiser is worth a lot more thats why hes also gave me 150 quid. i sent the phone today so i should be getting mine later in the week. i cant wait!
aah!, i mustve read it wrong lol.. wonderes when o2 will sell the xda star in uk.. =(.. they sell the kaiser tho..

That may change now that HTC has announced that they are planning to solve multimedia performance problems only in future devices and no fix is planned for the Kaiser...
I traded my TyTN II for an i-mate JASJAR, just a one-for-one swap with no cash in between. And I don't regret that for a second! I hated the TyTN II and was ready to use it as a skeet shooting target!
Then I traded the JASJAR for a JASJAM (Hermes) with a miminal amount of cash. This is something I am beginning to regret. Although the JASJAM is faster and has a slightly better camera, the lack of VGA display and bigger keyboard is starting to bug me!
so u basically swapped a kaiser for a hermes and a bit of cash, aint that like a big downgrade?...
No. What's the difference between the Hermes and the Kaiser? The Kaiser has a tilting keyboard and built-in GPS. What else do you get with the Kaiser? How about poor multimedia usability? Stuttering videos and touchscreen that needs a few extra taps to notice you. Not to mention the sluggish camera that's totally unusable indoors.
I just got the Universal today. i really do like it Ialso really did like the Kaiser mind. The only reason why i didnt use it as much was because it was locked to t-mobile and i now have a sim card for my mates work sim(free internet,free calls, free texts etc) Thats why i used the hermes and am really pleased i still got it. The hermes is by far the best pocket pc device out there. Its had more people cooking roms then the kaiser so we know how to play with it and get more out of it etc. its not bad sized(althought many people do take the mick out of me for having a brick as a phone. wait till they see the universal!) and also the hermes is just such a good alround brilliant phone. i am getting a artemis up and running soon mind so will have a good play with that and find out if i like WM devies without keyboards any good. will keep you posted!

Apparently due to the number of reported problems, vodafone are looking to stop selling the Xperia.
If this was story was fed by sales assistants from any high street shops i would not count on it at all.
Vodafone have not been known to pull back devices very easily, i mean look at the Blackberry Bold, a barely functional firmware when they released it and yet it is still on the shelves.
the only reason why this might be true is because they are releasing their own HTC android phone.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, they're taking on the Palm Pre GSM, which, in my opinion, is a fantastic device.

good.
xperia is the worst phone i've ever had.
can't wait to sell it off!
Whilst not sure of the motive, it does seem true that the X1 is to be discontinued by Vodafone (UK).
What does that mean for those of us that just took out a contract with them under a month ago supposing we do have problems from here on out?
Stop supplying doesn't mean Vodafone stops supporting the X1

Be good if they *started* supporting it. The VF firmware is *very* crippled if you want to do stuff like e-mail, use MSN Messenger etc....
The should supply it with the standard firmware rather than their nobbled piece of cuckooo

AFAIK they only put their panel in there, apat from that there is no branding.
i am trying to get rid of my x1 too if possible
those who hate the xperia, just be sure to never pickup another Windows Mobile phone again, the X1 is one of the best WinMo phones avaliable, just flash out the ****ing horrible branded firmware to the clean one or to a custom one and enjoy it.

You can't use Windows Live Messenger over WiFi on the Voda firmware. I think there was another program with that limitation too, but i can't remember which one...
customs are really way faster?
yes. especially the "lite" ones.
sorry i am quite new to WM.. but does this custom roms has any danger of harboring trojans etc. theoratically yes right>?
i havent face any problem from X1 for which i mite have to send it back..
but maybe some people did.....the phone's built quality is my only concern..otherwise its like a mini laptop in my pocket...
man it can do so much

I only had my Diamond 2 for a day when a white line apeared on the right side of the display while charging.
After alot of talkes and tests at HTC service they replaced the device.
Now I am confused, Should I sell it or keep it?
Please advice.

Thank you very much, this is what I really wanted to hear, I have not used the Diamond 2 long enough to like it or dislike it.
I wanted to know other people opinions about the device, people who used it enough to judge the device.
May be I asked the wrong way, but no need to make me feel like a fool.
Thank you very much and best regards

Well i was too in the middle of the bridge to decide between TD2 and HD2
It is true that depends on you and your needs. In my case i decided for the TD2
because i need the stylus and the price is all most half.
If you do not need the stylus and have enouth money for the HD2 them go for it!!!
I love my TD2, every day i like it more. But that's me!!!
I've had my TD2 since June '09 and have been on the verge of selling it many times.
But something stopped me.
Everytime I got frustrated with it's shortcomeings a cooked ROM would appear that made me persevere with my attempts at configuring the 'perfect' setup for me.
So to answer the question-
I would flash a 6.5.3 basic ROM (non manila as I run now) and be more than pleased with response, speed, stability and finger friendliness of the phone.
It's not perfect, but, light years ahead of the mess I had when I first took delivery of the T-mobile branded heap of *ra*!
However, in Jan I come up for an upgrade and I will seriously consider the HD2.

HI,
Apologies in advance if this sounds like a dumb question.With the 6.5.3 ROM, will I need to manually reconfigure the email/internet/txt for it to work? Im using the standard T-Mobile 6.5 upgrade. Currently everything works, however the battery needs charging daily.
Thanks in advance

The latest ROMs all have a small configuration app that runs once they are booted for the first time.
My service provider (T-mobile UK) is setup when this happens and the only aspect missing is the voicemail number for the phone to retrieve messages.
I make sure that I have Voicemail set as a contact and the number is then available to use after any fresh sync and you don't have to remember it.
Copy the number when asked for it when dialing voicemail and thats that.
Any other settings will be wiped along with preferences, however, they should never be restored from a backup of a previously different ROM anyway.
I hope that helps!
Forgot to add that you should see a marked improvement with the ROM I mentioned, but, remember, that it doesn't include the manila home screen app!
My $.02 worth,
Its really like comparing the Raphael and the Kaiser.
HD2 is twice the phone the TD2 is, but you'll pay more.
I would love to have the HD2.
Diamond 2 is Stylish, Sexy and Petit, I like it, I also have iPhone 3g which I have been using for a year and never failed me.
HD2 is bigger than the iPhone and more expensive aswell.
Very confusing really

Thanks that is helpful. DO you think the 6.5.3 rom will help with battery use. What new functionality is added over and above the standard UK TMOBILE ROM?

Speaking of cooked ROMs in general,
Not so much added functionality but removal of useless programs (bloatware) and tweaking the setttings for maximum performance (page pool, cache, etc.)
Each cooked ROM offers something different in the way of programs.
sell it and dont buy another htc phone. trust me. i have a diamond 2 and its been to the USA service center 4 times and i told them that they should replace it. they told me htc doesnt do replacements.
I have a MDA Compact V and although i like it im very tempted to trade it in for a Hero.

I saw that there are forums added for some WP7 devices. I was wondering why there's no forum created for the HTC Trophy 7. (I get one this thursday and I really need some roms etc .. no, the official reason for asking is, I believe the Trophy 7 is one of the only devices HTC is going to launch in Europe, so I think a forum would be very appreciated.
I was about to ask about this.
I get mine Trophy 7 deliverd tomorrow, but it's vodafone branded.
It should work with my KPN sim, at least thats what the shop said, but I want to get rid of the vodafone branding in the software.
There also wont be any logo's on the phone itself, just the software.
I'm sure i can flash an official HTC rom on it.... but i'll need some help.
I do have some experience with flashing. been flashing my Touch Pro since the first month i got it (been 2 years already )
so please make an Trophy 7 related section for us guys from Holland
HTC 7 Trophy
Hello all togeteher,
I was going to ask exactly the same question. I think there are already a few people who would like to see a Forum which can be used for discussions etc. about the HTC 7 Trophy.
I too would also like to see this trophy section created. This and the HD7 (I believe) are the only wp7 devices available from htc that are unlocked so these should get the most attention imho.
Trophy forum coming soon! Today we added a couple more WP7 forums.
today i was the proud receiver of a HTC Trophy
Been playin with it for a couple of hours now, but it incredibly smooth.
I'm happy with it

Did you receive the Vodafone's branding device? Is there any logo on the device? How about the software? Is it about a vodafone theme that you can change or something permanent?

your making me super excited!!!! i get mine on monday!!! monday morning, few hours from now. feel like a little kid before Christmas, havent had this feeling for a long time.
hopefully htc and MS fixed this whole xbox xtras app that crashes on htc phone tommorrow. wanna shake my phone and make my avatar fall down....ooooh its raining hailstones!!
sorry for the late reply..
it's indeed the vodafone branded one.
The guy from the shop called me about it. and i asked the guy if there was any branding on the phone itself and he confirmed that there is no branding on the phone.
So when i received it, i was quite anxious about it, but there is only a bootscreen with the vodafone logo, a tile with vodafone (wich i deleted right away) a vodafone app (also deleted) and the manual setup of my APN settings (just had to fill in portalmmm.nl for my Hi account ) and thats it.
Ow and the tiles where red, but adjustable to your prefered setting (mine is blue right now)
@levi3man: xbox live and avatar are working fine, but i replaces my regular live account with an WP7 exclusive one because my contacts from my regular acount is a mess, and there are some people in there my girlfriend wouldn't be to happy about .
So i made an new account with no avatar at the moment.
g'day there.
just wondering if you can tell me if you can swap out the microsd card in the Trophy? this has been rumoured on a few sites.
cheers,
milka
I got mine from vodafone NZ and it has absolutely no branding at all, not even the common vodafone start up screen. Perhaps they didn't have enough time to flash it given NZ was the first place in the world to release a wp7 device?
Hey guys just wondering if someone could let use know what the screen is like under direct sunlight? Although it is not that important I would still like to know what I am getting myself into.
I currently have a desire and it's quite poor in direct sunlight - just for reference.

It's usable under direct sunlight, a lot better than my nexus ones amoled display. Perhaps comparable to my old 3gs and maybe a bit less than samsung's super amoled displays.
The SD-card is not in a separate slot below the battery or something so you can't remove it.
I haven't had any issues under sun-light, it's readable and clear enough.
the only thing that bugs me now is that the notes app does't work after the HTC update... Not that i'm using it but still
still playing with the phone, and as i go along, i'm discovering new features.
With windows phone 7 attached to your winlows live profile, you can do some neat things, at least i think their neat
You can map your phone, and it shows on a map the location of the phone, and in my case it was spot on.
You can ring your phone, wich lets your phone ring, so you can find it if you lost it in your room.
You can lock your phone, where the app asks for an 4 digit code to unlock the phone, and an optional message. With this app you can lock your phone from a distance and on wake (power button press) the phone shows an message that the phone is locked or your optional message. and after an reboot the phone still stays in locked state. The only way to unlock it is to enter the 4 digit code. It's still possible to make emergency calls with it.
And the final thing you can do is erase your phone, revert it to factory settings i guess, because i didn't test this part

It doesn't feel plastic at all. The glossy finish gives it a sort of "industrial design" look. Also, the coating on the back gives it a very sturdy grip.
All in all I like the minimalistic design of this phone. It's one of the best designs I've ever seen from HTC. But of course that's a matter of taste.
No scratching of the lens/flash. The lens/flash/speaker compartment is a bit raised, so when it is laying on the table it doesn't lay completely flat. The angle is just enough to prevent scratching.
bootup logo
I've got my Trophy with a boot up logo from Vodafone. Is there any way to get rid of that bootup screen?
Thanx in advance
well i was in a law suite with HTC for the issues i was having with my HTC Desire issues so i received a new desire hd for all the issues i went through even though HTC took a year to settle lol
so do you guys like your Desire HD
Congrats on getting the HD. Your going to love it. Im delighted with my one.
I got mine on 2 days back. I am loving it with Gingerbread sense.
Sent from my Desire HD
congratz.. now go to DHD dev and flash the gingerbread rom on it..
+1, then you never look back on your desire anymore
lol that statement is so true i cant put this phone down, lol as well i have not touched my iphone in days my buddy has a iphone 4 as well and he was blown away by the htc Desire HD i know the GPU is not all that but what i use it for it is amazing he just fell in love now he wants one
I must be the only person who doesn't love this phone, its not that I dont like it, its just that there seems to be a lot of issues.
I got mine on Saturday, it was a Vodafone UK upgrade, and coming to this from the orginal Desire has been a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT
The one thing I noticed as soonas I took it out of the box was the seemingly sharp edges around the screen area, the phone itself is sluggish and the screen can be very non-responsive, I cant for the love of all thats almighty get the HTCSense to work - in fact cant even create an account, cant download Locations, the GPS wont work because it says it cant find the satellites even when I'm outside, and the list just goes on.
I loved my original Desire and chose it over the iPhone 4 and thought this would be the next step up buy boy was I wrong. Chances are Ive just got a bad one, but its hasnt half dented my confidence in what I originally thought was a great brand.
As I said, I had the phone as an Vodafone upgrade through Phones4U in the UK. Are they likely to give me a new phone or will they make me have this one repaired? To be honest, I dont want it repaired I just want a new one.
Suggestions please
It sounds like you got a bad one. You could try a factory reset and see if that speeds it back up to normal. If not I would suggest they change it for you. There are plenty of YouTube videos showing the normal (non-sluggish) speed. If your one doesn't match - ask them why it is so slow.
My 2 cents.
I would suggest the same as Grant Barker, sounds like you've got some kind of issuse!
Factory reset is always an good idea! ;-)

IANAL but distance selling reg's should cover this, you are entitled to reject the phone within seven days, personally I would speak with Phones4U as i have found them very helpfull in the past if no joy there try speaking to vodafone aswell.
But it does sound like you've recieved a lemon, even if I did find SENSE slowed the phone down over vanilla android.
1st thing I tried was a factory reset and to be honest, I think its made a blind bit of difference.
Thanks for the heads up people, I'll let you know how this progresses.
you will have to contact the company and explain to them u have a DOA

Is this fault of HTC TW? or Phone4u UK is selling some sort of 2nd quality ****?
Welcome from the owners of SHD.
Sense is really nice, I think.
With other Nosense Rom's i took less pleasure to use my phone.
In addition, drivers included in HTC sense, allow the phone to be much less energy.
Otherwise, you must hack the kernel.
